Australian Opening batsman David Warner says playing England is "war" and he plans to work up "disgust" for the tourists for extra motivation during the upcoming Ashes series. After a disappointing performance recently against India in limited over games. During the first Test in Brisbane in 2013, Warner famously said England had "scared eyes" when facing Australia's pace attack and he is firing similar salvoes ahead of their arrival later this month. "The history, the pride that is at stake. As soon as you step on that line it's war," Warner told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation yesterday when asked what the Ashes meant to him. Provided they are all fit, spearhead Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jackson Bird could form a formidable attack on Australia's fast-paced home wickets.
Coach Darren Lehmann joined in the verbal barrage when he said he can't wait to see how brittle England's batting might be when faced with Australia's express pace. "It'll be interesting. They'll have to cope with that, they know its coming.” "Starc and Cummins can certainly enforce some problems.especially for their middle and lower order on the bouncy tracks. They didn't like it last time." England, the Ashes holders, have lost two of their past three tours in Australia 5-0, either side of their 3-1 win in 2011
